Wolfpack has announced that an open beta is forthcoming for Throne of Oblivion, the next expansion for the PvP-styled MMORPG. While the open beta is free, interested players must have an active Shadowbane Subscriber Account in order to qualify for the open beta.

In preparation for the launch of the expansion on December 7th, 2004, we need your help for the final testing of the new Vampire Race, the new Necromancer and Nightstalker classes, the realm system, stress testing, and more. Late this week we will be opening up the testing phase to the entire subscriber-base of Shadowbane.

While not mandatory, Wolfpack recommends that qualified entrants turn on the preference for receiving email newsletters to ensure that they receive an application.
